Red lists
Hazardous procedures, products and processes that should be eliminated
from the project where possible.
General issues
• Lack of adequate post-construction information (such as asbestos clearance, asbestos surveys, details
of geology, obstructions, services, ground contamination and so on).
• Design of roof mounted services that require access (for maintenance and so on), without provision
for safe access (such as barriers) in particular access for aerials / antennas systems.
• Design of environments involving adverse lighting, noise, vibration, temperature, wetness, humidity
and draughts or chemical and/or biological conditions during use and maintenance operations.
• Design & layout of cabinets to reduce risks associated with road traffic and pedestrian movements
when opened for maintenance works.
Power systems
• Ensure all power installation meet relevant standards, and where DC supplies are planned seek further
advice about requirements for earthing of racks, power supply ratings etc. to take account of future
needs and growth.
41
Openreach: Developer Guide How to build a Fibre network
Amber lists
Products, processes and procedures to be eliminated or reduced as far as possible
and only specified or allowed if unavoidable.
Including amber items would always lead to the provision of information to the principal
contractor or contractor where only one contractor has been appointed.
General issues
• Internal manholes and inspection chambers in pedestrian circulation areas.
• External manholes in heavily used vehicle access zones (creates need for roadworks guarding
and traffic restrictions).
• Ensure correct installation of underground brick built boxes, and that frames & covers are correctly
installed (line/level and ease of opening).
• Where required, correct installation of iron-work (especially any steps/ladders built into
underground boxes).
42
Openreach: Developer Guide How to build a Fibre network
Green lists
Products, processes and procedures to be positively encouraged.
• Adequate access for vehicles to minimise reversing requirements (one-way systems and turning radii)
in particular if specialist vehicles will need access (pole erection units, MEWP vehicles etc.).
• Provision of adequate access and headroom for maintenance in communications rooms, and adequate
provision for replacing heavy components.
• Thoughtful location of mechanical and electrical equipment, such as telecoms equipment, termination
points, Wi-Fi transceivers etc. and so on to facilitate access, and placed away from crowded areas.
• Lighting within communications rooms adequate for fine tasks (fibre splicing, small diameter copper
wire terminations etc.).
• Provision of adequate air handling / conditioning and ventilation for the installed equipment base within
the communications room (and people having to access and work within the area).
• Early installation of permanent means of access, and prefabricated access systems with hand rails.
• Provision of edge protection at permanent works where there is a foreseeable risk of falls after handover
(consider radio antenna or aerials installations on roof spaces).
• Encourage the use of engineering controls to minimise the use of personal protective equipment.
